It's so nice to know who we're talking to. Adding a photo is highly recommended. It will help build your presence here as well as make your posts stand out. A photo of you is great (so we know who were talking to) or maybe something that represents you or your blog. A margarita, baby, laundry piles? If you don't want to post yourself get creative with your avatar so you are memorable.

There are a few options for adding an avatar besides uploading at step 3. If you know the URL, choose "Specify avatar by URL" instead and enter the URL or if you don't have an image yet, select "Choose avatar from gallery."
